This is the ratio of the height of an equilateral triangle to its base.
Essentially the same sequence arises from decimal expansion of square root of 75, which is 8.6602540378443864676372317...
Also the real part of i^(1/3), the cubic root of i. - Stanislav Sykora, Apr 25 2012
Gilbert & Pollak conjectured that this is the Steiner ratio rho_2, the least upper bound of the ratio of the length of the Steiner minimal tree to the length of the minimal tree in dimension 2. (See Ivanov & Tuzhilin for the status of this conjecture as of 2012.) - Charles R Greathouse IV, Dec 11 2012

If a, b, c are the sides of a triangle ABC and h_a, h_b, h_c the corresponding altitudes, then (h_a+h_b+h_c) / (a+b+c) <= sqrt(3)/2; equality is obtained only when the triangle is equilateral (see Mitrinovic reference). - Bernard Schott, Sep 26 2022

The decimal expansion of sqrt(50) = 5*sqrt(2) = 7.0710678118654752440... gives essentially the same sequence.
Also real and imaginary part of the square root of the imaginary unit. - Alonso del Arte, Jan 07 2011
1/sqrt(2) = (1/2)^(1/2) = (1/4)^(1/4) (see the comments in A072364).
If a triangle has sides whose lengths form a harmonic progression in the ratio 1 : 1/(1 + d) : 1/(1 + 2d) then the triangle inequality condition requires that d be in the range -1 + 1/sqrt(2) < d < 1/sqrt(2). - Frank M Jackson, Oct 11 2011
Let s_2(n) be the sum of the base-2 digits of n and epsilon(n) = (-1)^s_2(n), the Thue-Morse sequence A010060, then Product_{n >= 0} ((2*n + 1)/(2*n + 2))^epsilon(n) = 1/sqrt(2). - Jonathan Vos Post, Jun 03 2012

The moments of inertia of the five Platonic solids were apparently first calculated by the Canadian physicist John Satterly (1879-1963) in 1957.
The moment of inertia of a solid regular dodecahedron with a uniform mass density distribution, mass M, and edge length L is I = c*M*L^2, where c is this constant.
The corresponding values of c for the other Platonic solids are:
Tetrahedron: 1/20 (= A020761/10).
Octahedron: 1/10 (= A000007).
Cube: 1/6 (= A020793).
Icosahedron: (3 + sqrt(5))/20 (= A104457/10).
